Program Summary
Join us for a CLE program that reveals findings from a new survey exploring the relationship between private practice lawyers and in-house counsel in the age of AI. How well are law departments and law firms working together? What are the biggest challenges to collaboration? What emerging skills are becoming must-haves in the era of generative AI? Above the Law and iManage surveyed over 200 lawyers — at law firms and working in-house — to find out where they see eye to eye and where they may differ. The findings will be revealed in this CLE webinar, where our panel will explore what the data could mean for your professional relationships, from both the in-house and private practice perspective. This course is presented by iManage.
